Good Enough For Nobody

[Verse 1]
You left when I was four
Small shoes by the door
Mama said you had to go
But she cried on the kitchen floor
Cartoons on the TV glow
But I kept one ear on the phone
Every ring was "maybe him"
Every silence carved my bones
Teacher said I did alright
I heard "not enough" in her smile
Every B felt like a fail
Like my best was just on trial
Grew up tryna fill that gap
Straight A’s, straight edge, straight cap
New face, same ache, same trap
If he ain't stay, who would stay after that
[Chorus]
I keep tryna be enough for somebody
Bleed out just to feel somebody
Every time I give my heart, they leave
Guess I'm good enough for nobody (nobody)
If I fix me, will you stay this time
Or find new ways to cross that line
I'm so tired of asking why
Why I'm never good enough
[Verse 2]
First love said she saw my soul
Said my hurt made me seem old
She kissed every broken part
Then she used them all when she got cold
Found texts I was never meant to see
"Yeah, I’m with him, but he ain't really me"
Whole life in a little blue screen
Whole trust in a bathroom sink
Next girl said she wasn't like the rest
Got her name inked across my chest
She swore she would never step out
Came home early, heard another man's breath
Every time it’s the same sad script
Same tight jaw, same curled fist
I blame them, then I blame myself
Maybe this is all I get
[Chorus]
I keep tryna be enough for somebody
Bleed out just to feel somebody
Every time I give my heart, they leave
Guess I'm good enough for nobody (oh, nobody)
If I fix me, will you stay this time
Or find new ways to cross that line
I'm so tired of asking why
Why I'm never good enough
[Bridge]
Tell me, is it me or the mirror
Is it them or the fear I carry
If I was perfect, would you stay
Or just find new cracks to bury
Been begging doors that never open
Holding hands that drop when I'm hoping
If love means losing pieces of me
Then who am I when they go again (go again)
[Chorus]
I keep tryna be enough for somebody
Bleed out just to feel somebody
Every time I give my heart, they leave
Guess I'm good enough for nobody
If I fix me, will I lose my mind
Chasing ghosts that I can't rewind
I’m done asking them "what's enough"
I’m just trying to be enough
For me
(Just enough for me)

rap, Moody, cinematic rap over brooding piano and heavy bass, male vocals deep and intimate. Verses stay sparse with close-mic delivery and subtle room reverb; hook swells with layered low harmonies and a distant, distorted vocal shadow. Kick and bass hit hard under the chorus, with occasional piano stabs between bars. Final chorus strips back to voice and keys, then the bass slams in on the last line for a gut-punch ending., deep
